On August 24, 2019, Danish Princess Benedikte attended the opening of the Youth Island (Middelgrundsfort) which is located in Øresund between Copenhagen and Malmö. The construction of the island has recently been completed. The Youth Island is an activity platform and development center for all Danish young people. The Middelgrundsfort was originally built in 1894, and was acquired and donated to the Danish Scout movement by The A.P. Møller Foundation and the Nordea Foundation in 2015 – and so the creation of the Youth Island aka Ungdomsøen was started. The Youth Island is the world’s largest artificially landscaped island. |
